A tiny, nameless fox shrine next to a really small block of flats that I came across on the next town down the line. I am cycling around Ashitakayama (愛鷹山 "Love Hawk Mountain") in a counter-clockwise fashion, which at its northernmost point will bring me up the flank of Mt. Fuji, which will still take me up a whopping 900m from sea level.

But that's just for context. We're here for foxes, and this tiny shrine features one tiny clay or porcelain fox that is still whole, and two more that have lost their heads. They are noticeably not of the usual, mass-produced design, but seem to be of a more unique make.
